The new sign is set! Thanks to a Chase County Community Foundation grant, we were able to have this sign made by Professional Stone Masonry LLC.

This native limestone building was originally built by Dr. Moses Lacy for an office. Sometime after his death in 1866, the Chase County Commissioners rented the building for $10.00 a month from Dr. Lacy’s widow. In 1871, iron bars were added to the windows at a cost of $42.03. This two-room structure served as Chase County’s jail until the completion of the Chase County Courthouse and jail in October of 1873. The structure was later converted into a home, and in 1987, the Chase County Historical Society purchased the property from the Haglund estate.
